All the usual features are but the only extras are a behind-the-scenes featurette and a section on the soundtrack. It's not bad, but just too average.
The multi-player game is now online. It takes a bit to get used to, but it's fun.
Nothing.
There's a new section called The Mead Hall which is an interactive section with plenty of clips, however, some are too short to be a big selling point.
One of those movies where this site is better than the movie. Unfortunately, there's not much new from when the site won the award meaning the bios are still marked coming soon.
MySpace. And not even a particularly interesting MySpace page.
The teaser trailer is online, but not on the site yet. Too much teaser for me, but it's still enough to get me wanting to see more.
Just a trailer and a link to the MySpace page. However, the trailer is pretty cool, in a RPG geek kind of way, and I say that as a RPG geek.
All the usual features with a lot of clips. It's hard to tell if the clips will help sell the movie cause there's little or no dialogue and what dialogue there is not in English.
The two clips were added to the site.
Five more clips were added to the site this week and they should help sell the film, but this movie doesn't have a massive, widespread appeal. It's just too violent for that.
A whole new look, and a few new clips to go with it, (both audio and video). In addition to most of the regular features, (bios are MIA at the moment), there are three extras: Interactive Timeline and Building the Golden Age, and clips. The final two are still marked coming soon, but the overall site is very strong so far and depending on the quality of the Building the Golden Age and the number of clips, this could be an award-winning site.
Flash site is up, but there's little in the way of content. The most notable aspect is the ability to post messages and set your mood. It's not much, but it is better than most.
Just the trailer and a link to the MySpace page. Disappointing.
A memory game was added to the site, but it's not just a memory game but a video memory game. It's a nice twist and I'll give them bonus points for it.
Good site with lots and lots of information, but not a very polished feel to it. However, given the film's old school appeal, this fits nicely.
Just the basics with a really cool song in the background.
Like most documentary sites, this one is heavy on content, especially background information, but light on style. Still, the trailer should sell the film to its target audience.
A lot of information, but it looks like a blog and isn't very polished.
No changes from last week. This leaves the site with the basics and a few R-rating video clips.
New look. When it first loaded I was so excited, but there's absolutely no content. However, the movie doesn't open till Christmas, so we have plenty of time.
The site is still down, and it's not like there's a lot of time for them to fix it as the movie opens in a couple weeks.
The synopsis and the images were added to the site this week, as was a section to let people, "let go and free themselves."
The site is back, which probably means when I jumped in last week, it was right when they was upgrading the site. As for the upgrade, the site now has all of the usual features plus a section to get involved in the problem of human trafficing.
The full site is online and it has all of the usual features as well as video clips for intros to each section. This used to be enough to be considered award worthy, now it's just average.
